Analysis Settings¶

-p POLICY

Specify the policy to analyze. If none is specified, seinfoflow will search for the policy running on the current system.

-m MAP

Specify the path to the permission map file to use in the information flow analysis.

-s SOURCE

Specify the source type to use in the information flow analysis.

-t TARGET

Specify the target type to use in the information flow analysis. Using this option will also require specifying an analysis algorithm.

Analysis Algorithms¶

seinfoflow uses graph algorithms to analyze the information flow paths of an SELinux policy. The following algorithms are options for determining paths from a source type to a target type.

-S

Print the shortest information flow path(s) from the source type to the target type. If multiple paths have the same length, all will be displayed.

-A LIMIT

Print all information flow path(s) up to LIMIT steps long. Depending on the connectiveness of the policy, a limit of 5 or more may be extremely expensive.

Analysis Options¶

-w MIN_WEIGHT

Specify the minimum permission weight to consider for the analysis (1-10). The default is 3.

-l LIMIT_FLOWS

Specify the maximum number of information flows to output. The default is unlimited.

EXCLUDE

A space-separated list of types to exclude from the analysis.

General Options¶

--stats

Print information flow graph statistics at the end of the analysis.

-h, --help

Print help information and exit.

--version

Print version information and exit.

-v, --verbose

Print additional informational messages.

--debug

Enable debugging output.
